Transformers Director Michael Bay Assaulted on Set:

The newest transformers movie “Transformers: Age of Extinction” is set to come out at the end of this June.  This movie is the fourth one and is about a mechanic and his daughter that make a discovery that brings the transformers back.  Thursday, the director of the set, Michael Bay, was approached by 3 men and assaulted.

On the set in Hong Kong, director of the movie, Michael Bay, was approached by three men, who were reported to be brothers and all intoxicated at the time.  One of the men had a welded air conditioning unit and used it as a weapon to try and beat the director.  The man tried to strike Bay with the unit while he ducked and fell to the ground.  The men demanded for and equivalent of $13,000 and Bay refused.  Bay managed to gain control of the air conditioning unit and threw it to the side.  Security immediately fled to the scene and seized control over the three men and arrested them.

What doesn’t make since is how the three men got onto the set.  Transformers movies have been very popular so they definitely have the proper funding for a good security.  It is still unknown how they managed to make it onto the set.  Thankfully security heard the men and fled to the scene and no one was badly injured.

Reporters say that Bay suffered little injuries to the face but denied and medical treatment whatsoever. Although reporters say Bay suffered injuries, Paramount reports otherwise.  In a report by Paramount directly proceeding the incident they say that no one was injured at all on the set.  They also came out and said that they immediately started filming after the men were arrested.  While reporters make a big deal about the run in, Paramount dismisses it as nothing.  They most likely do this because they don’t want anyone thinking there will be any delays in when the movie will come out.

Paramount made a statement later saying that Bay had a “bizarre” encounter with a man.  They also say that the man was under influence of a narcotic substance at the time.  News reports say the man was intoxicated, not under the influence of narcotics.  Paramount also says that Bay avoided what could have been a “serious incident”.
